Adjusting the tracking
Although the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking
when playing a tape (the indicator flashes in the
display window, then turns off), distortion may occur
if the recording is in poor condition. In this case,
manually adjust the tracking.
Press TRACKING +/– to display the tracking meter.
The distortion should disappear as you press one of
the two tracking buttons (the
indicator lights up).
To resume automatic tracking adjustment, eject the
tape and reinsert it.

About the Adaptive Picture Control (APC) function
The Adaptive Picture Control (APC) function automatically improves recording and
playback quality by adjusting the VCR to the condition of the video heads and tape.
To maintain better picture quality, we recommend that you set APC to SI on
PÁGINA2 of the OPCIONES menu (The APC indicator lights up in the display
window). For details, see page 64.
APC playback
The APC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental tapes
and tapes that were not recorded with APC.
APC recording
Whenever you insert a tape and first start recording, the VCR adjusts to the tape using
the APC function (the APC indicator flashes rapidly). This adjustment is retained
until the tape is ejected.
Notes
• The auto tracking adjustment cannot be guaranteed to work with tapes recorded in the LP
mode on other VCRs.
• The APC function does not work if the tape speed is automatically changed from the SP to
EP mode during a timer recording when VEL. AUTO. CINTA is set to SI in the OPCIONES
menu, unless the tape has been recorded in the EP mode with the APC function.
• There is a delay of about ten seconds before the VCR actually starts recording while the VCR
analyzes the tape. To avoid the delay, first set the VCR to recording pause (the APC indicator
flashes slowly) and press z REC to have the VCR analyze the tape (the APC indicator
flashes rapidly) and return to recording pause. After the APC indicator stops flashing, press
X PAUSE to start recording immediately.
If you want to start recording quickly without using the APC function, first set the VCR to
recording pause (the APC indicator flashes slowly) and press X PAUSE again to start
recording.
